On a beautiful day in Miami Beach, a mother and daughter began to talk about their written works and their desire to publish something together . . . This is how the first thoughts of Two Feathers and One Book came to be. This is a very unique book where two languages meet and two genres intertwine. The short stories are provocatively written in Spanish while the poems carry a message of life’s experiences, illusions, and disillusions. Each short story carries the breath and depth of life’s unexpected moments, written with the utmost quality of any authentic and passionate writer. From a magnificent dance with Baryshnikov, to the tragic death of someone too young, every story will leave the reader with a taste of wanting more. Each poem rhythmically and musically tells of a quiet ride to heaven, a romantic walk in the woods, a battle with cancer, and much more to feed the readers’ mind and soul.

A Newbery Honor Book A beautiful and moving novel from a three-time Newbery Honor-winning author “Hope is the thing with feathers” starts the poem Frannie is reading in school. Frannie hasn’t thought much about hope. There are so many other things to think about. Each day, her friend Samantha seems a bit more “holy.” There is a new boy in class everyone is calling the Jesus Boy. And although the new boy looks like a white kid, he says he’s not white. Who is he? During a winter full of surprises, good and bad, Frannie starts seeing a lot of things in a new light—her brother Sean’s deafness, her mother’s fear, the class bully’s anger, her best friend’s faith and her own desire for “the thing with feathers.” Jacqueline Woodson once again takes readers on a journey into a young girl’s heart and reveals the pain and the joy of learning to look beneath the surface. "[Frannie] is a wonderful role model for coming of age in a thoughtful way, and the book offers to teach us all about holding on to hope."—Children's Literature "A wonderful and necessary purchase for public and school libraries alike."—VOYA
